Name: A-Base Rotational Adapter
Brand: PASCO
SKU: CI-6690
Price: 85.0 USD

Close-up of Rotary Motion Sensor mounted on “A”-base

The platform is quickly rotated (from rest) and then brought to a stop. Both the tangential and centripetal acceleration is measured (using the 2-Axis Acceleration Sensor), while the platform’s angular velocity is measured by the Rotary Motion Sensor.

Allows students to mount Rotary Motion Sensors to the Rotating Platform or Gyroscope.

What's Included

1x Rotary Motion Sensor Mounting Post
1x O-Ring Drive Belt
1x Three-Step Pulley
1x Pulley Mounting Screw

Product Summary

The A-base Adapter allows students to mount a Rotary Motion Sensor for high resolution data collection. One revolution of the vertical shaft corresponds to one revolution of the Rotary Motion Sensor, generating up to 4000 data points per revolution.

With the Rotation Platform:

When attached to the Rotating Platform, a Rotary Motion Sensor can monitor the rotation of any experiment using DataStudio software. One revolution of the vertical shaft corresponds to one revolution of the Rotary Motion Sensor, generating up to 4,000 data points per revolution.

With the Gyroscope:

PASCO's Gyroscope (ME-8960) becomes a quantitative instrument for advanced rotational motion experiments when used with the A-Base Rotational Adapter, Rotary Motion Sensor/Gyroscope Mounting Bracket, and two Rotary Motion Sensors. Students can obtain a graphical picture of the Gyroscope’s nutation and precession motions.
